Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 pound Breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2.5 cups Whole milk (for gravy)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for gravy)
• 1 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut 6 tablespoons of cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add 0.75 cups of whole milk to the mixture, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness.

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut as necessary.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through.

Step 9

Sprinkle 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage, stirring to coat it. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 10

Gradually whisk in 2.5 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Step 12

To serve, split the warm biscuits in half and spoon the sausage gravy generously over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 13

Enjoy immediately for a hearty and satisfying breakfast!
